Thanks, I'll have a look. Actually theres something a little like that in the
latest CVS:
Zigzag is still enabled by default, but:
When a DISEQC command is sent, the zigzag code goes into a special "DISEQC"
mode.This basically disables zigzag until the next FE_SET_FRONTEND command...
This was done specifically for people like you with motorized dishes... can
you have a look and see if its what you need?
